Bride of the Monster, written, produced and directed by Ed Wood, was released in the United States in 1955. It was Lugosi's last speaking role in a film, and he stars as a mad scientist in a mansion guarded by a giant octopus. Attempting to build an army of nuclear powered soldiers, he is investigated by a female journalist who falls into his clutches. The art for this Argentinean release is largely the same as appears on the American poster. Beauty and the Beast p. 54, Graven Images p. 189 (var), Manifesti del Cinema 58 (var).
